\nPo\u00e7os de Caldas<\/p>\n
Po\u00e7os de Caldas was founded in 1872, in a region originally inhabited by the Cataguases Indians, who were expelled from their lands during the Brazilian historical period of exploration of gold mines. In 1874 it became a district, then in 1875 it was elevated to the category of city. It became famous after the discovery of the hot springs, and many important people began to visit the spa in search of cures provided by the water.
\nIt lies on the boundary of the state of\u00a0S\u00e3o Paulo\u00a0at 1186 meters elevation and is the main socio-economic nucleus of its region. It is a small to medium size city, which its physical area is made up for the most part of a high plateau formed by mountains, fields and valleys with an area of approximately 750\u00a0km2. The average elevation is 1200\u00a0m (3937\u00a0ft), with Cristo Redentor, the highest point, at 1686\u00a0m (5531\u00a0ft). The topography is highly suggestive of a\u00a0volcanic crater\u00a0and, given that the region’s rocks are indeed\u00a0igneous\u00a0and there are\u00a0hot springs, this gave rise to a common misconception that Po\u00e7os de Caldas would be located inside the crater of a large extinct volcano. In reality, Po\u00e7os de Caldas is inside a\u00a0caldera\u00a0that was formed by the collapse of a central portion of terrain amid elevated areas, and while the latter have volcanic origin, the process that formed the supposed “crater” had nothing to do with volcanic activity. Po\u00e7os de Caldas occupies a highly strategic geographical location, due to its proximity to S\u00e3o Paulo (243\u00a0km),\u00a0Belo Horizonte\u00a0(460\u00a0km) and\u00a0Rio de Janeiro\u00a0(470\u00a0km), cities, three of the biggest brazilian cities ( all are state capital cities) whose connections are made with good highways and its is part of a complex of hydro-mineral spas of\u00a0that include cities as Serra Negra,\u00a0\u00c1guas de Lind\u00f3ia,\u00a0Socorro,\u00a0Monte Alegre do Sul, \u00c1guas da Prata,\u00a0Caldas,\u00a0Cambuquira,\u00a0Caxambu\u00a0and\u00a0S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o. Po\u00e7os de Caldas is also close to the most developed regions of the interior of the state of S\u00e3o Paulo, such as\u00a0Ribeir\u00e3o Preto\u00a0(240\u00a0km),\u00a0Campinas\u00a0(160 Km, where is located the international airport of Viracopos) and\u00a0S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 dos Campos\u00a0(315\u00a0km).

\nKnown mainly for its thermal baths, there are several\u00a0resorts\u00a0in the city. Due to its wealth in hydro-mineral resources, Po\u00e7os de Caldas is also known for the quality of the\u00a0soap\u00a0that it produces. There are four factories in the city: Ra\u00edzes, Antares, Sarandi and Terra Brasil. Po\u00e7os is famous for its glass, which is known internationally, due to the Italian founders of the factories which were descendants of the\u00a0artistic glassmakers\u00a0from the\u00a0Island of Murano. In the city there are four glass factories: Ca’D’oro, S\u00e3o Marcos, Veneza and Bonora.
\nPo\u00e7os is also the home of one of the largest\u00a0bauxite\u00a0mines in the world, owned by\u00a0Alcoa. This ore contains at least 45% alumina, which is extracted to make\u00a0aluminum. The smelting operations at Po\u00e7os de Caldas have an annual capacity of 90,000 tons\/year of primary aluminum. The facility is the largest aluminum-powder production facility in Latin America, and the second largest in the world.\u00a0The plant has a capacity of 14,000 tonnes\/year of aluminum powder and meets the market demand for ferroalloys, refractories, pigments, metallurgy, chemicals, explosives and solid fuel for rockets. The facility began production of hydrated aluminas and hard-burned calcined aluminas in 1985.<\/p>\n
The city is very well taken care of, with several green areas, among parks, squares, gardens and S\u00e3o Domingos mountain, which has trails for walking. There is an aerial tram to get to the Statue of Christ the Redeemer (1,686\u00a0m). At the top of the mountain there is a great view of the nearby mountains. The sulphurous water is the main attraction and can be consumed in several fountains and at the Thermas Ant\u00f4nio Carlos. The city also offers options such as a theme park, museums, theaters, cafes, bars, restaurants, and other cultural events.<\/p>\n
The region is known throughout Brazil for its delicious food. In spite of a number of different options of restaurants with different tendencies in terms of traditional and international food (mainly Italian food), on of the main appeal is the regional cuisine called \u201ccozinha mineira\u201d. Basically, the prepared dishes take typical ingredients of the region, with influences from other states like Mato Grosso, Goias and Bahia, bringing together elements with the cuisine of the Midwest and Northeastern. Some Minas Gerais food that you need to try are:<\/p>\n
